News and History of the MNG Developers from 1999

Herein lie news items and historical stuff regarding MNG. Feel free to poke
around, but note that some of the links, particularly the older ones, may be
broken. Keep in mind that this is history here...

27 May 1999 - Draft 64 (version 0.95a) of the MNG specification is
released (minor editorial corrections), as is Draft 65 (version 0.95b).
The latter proposes some technical changes that were prompted by several of the
implementations currently underway; they mostly involve the DEFI chunk
and issues surrounding nonviewable objects.

11 May 1999 - The MNG spec is officially frozen!
Any further changes will require a formal vote by eligible MNG or PNG
developers (which includes a two-week discussion period followed by a
two-week voting period).

25 April 1999 - Draft 63 (version 0.95) of the MNG specification
is released (minor editorial fixes, clarifications, and new examples).

27 March 1999 - Draft 60 (version 0.93) of the MNG specification
is released (revised eXPI and description of "frame"; restored
requirement for MNG-VLC decoders to handle BACK chunk and use background
color if mandatory; MNG-VLC subset available as separate document).
